Great video. You saved me 40 dollars. My fuse tested good as well but after seeing this I did the same as you and now it works. Knowledge comes with age. Thank you. 👍
Hello I would like to thank you so much as my ps4 pro died for no reason. I thought it was the power unit. I found this and checked mine and it was the fuse so you saved me so much money THANK YOU SO MUCH . Keep up the good work .
Thank you so much for sharing. 😉👌🏼 I just repaired my daughters PS4. She had a cockroach infestation and heard a *pop* and the unit stopped working. After opening it up there were still about 20 tiny cockroaches still crawling around in there. GROSS. After checking all the mains switching circuitry for shorts, none were found. Bridge rectifier was good, all the transistors weren't short, nor was the main filter cap. All that was dead was the main fuse. So I took the gamble and bridged the fuse with a single strand of wire like you did, and whalla. It worked. BTW There was a black spot on the board and slight damage where I presume the cockroach shorted the mains.
@@SaiBruce A single strand of copper from a multi core piece of mains wire. An extremely thin strand, effectively giving it a rating of around 2 - 5 Amps or thereabouts. It's only a very rough guess on the low side. Low enough so that if there still is a short the wire will melt rather than the bridge rectifier explode but will still allow the unit to run if there is no other fault. Obviously, ideally you replace the fuse with a similar rated one. Although the unit has been running on average 8 hours a day every day since it was repaired and still works.
I've had the fuse be the only issue before. Seems to be caused by faulty home electrical, power surge, or something else external. Thanks for the videos! Keep it up!
Thanks for your video - bought a PS4 for my kids -- only to get that click sound. Followed your video to open the powersupply only to find one of those cables broken off - think stemed from the fact that it is old. I will be taking it to the shop tomorrow to have it fixed and hopefully it works - will update you but thanks for your guidance.
Thanks for the video and for the great teaching. If something else were in short the varistor would be in short as well, so it could blow up the fuse. Maybe it was because of the bad quality of the fuse, nothing special about it. -- You can use a 70 up to 100W lamp in series with mains voltage to test switching power supplies without worrying about if something more is on short or not. A lamp in series will create a current drop across it, and nothing will blow up. If the lamps light up at maximum brightness, something is bad. That's a must have in repair business. I believe you know this technique.
Guys, if you cleaned your PS4 and have a problem getting the PS4 to turn on or it turns on then off, you may have put the power supply back in wrong. Make sure the two long metal pieces are straight and not bent to where it reaches the power brick. Not placing it back in correctly also may make it hard to put the other plastic back on and difficult to put the screws back in the PS4. Went through this myself. Hopes that's the case and you too can save your money.
I like the way you do your videos. Funny as well as informative. I just subscribed cause I think I will learn a lot from watching your repairs. Component testing and fault finding would be good to see. I will check what else you have uploaded when I get some more time. Thanks very much for your good work
good job .. also there is variester after the fuse .. it is volt sensitive resister it shorts the power causing blown fuse .. the variester blows from the main power input surges
Great video! Sometimes it's just that simple. I suppose a voltage spike might of blown the fuse. I'm away to buy a PS4 so this video may well come in handy - thanks!
What a disappointment..... Only the fuse???? 😁😁😁 Sir thank you very much for your time and help to try help and support people like as to understand the basics of electronic. I'm less than a beginner but watching every single video you upload from start up to the end even sometimes I no clue what you are doing but is still very entertaining and fun. Thank you
Love your work. I'd as you shown me and my knife touched the bottom of the board and sparked. I'm not good with testers so do I think it's dead or that's normal. Great work btw. Subscribed.
Hi! The pfc (power factor correction circuit) capacitor might cause this fuse to blow. I opened one psu yesterday, very similar to yours, also found a blown fuse and all the rest apparently ok, so I also tried the "fairytale" trick:) So, I replaced the fuse and as soon as the 12v section kicked in it started whirring and only then I noticed the 180uF/450v capacitor was slightly bulged, meaning a new one was definitely needed a long time ago. Beware this is a PFC circuit capacitor, not a regular mains rectifier circuit filter capacitor, the voltage does rise above 400v instead of the usual 1.414xVac. I made a mistake and squeezed in a pair of 120uF/400v in parallel to try it out, it worked fine with no abnormal noises but I am replacing them asap with the original 180uF/450v one because the voltage might be in excess of 400v and I guess it should be safer to keep the original capacity value at this point also. There is one video on the net illustrating the voltages at this point in particular in the pfc circuit, in standby and full power on there are massive voltage differences. Not the usual rectifier bridge filter anymore or something like that, there is a coil in the circuit... Cheers, Hugo ( I am too old to see a obvious pfc circuit and understand what it does, unless it starts screaming in my face ;D )
4:03 exactly. Bcos they want to exploit people by replacing every faulty console with a new one and charging for it. If people could repair it themselves then they would not be able to exploit them like that. That's why we need to choose a product that's open source, that's not restricted by the manufacturer, which is not hidden by the manufacturer. That's why PC is more valuable bcos it is open source. You can literally fix your own components in a pc, if you know what to do. But console peasants don't understand this bcos they think restricted access and hidden info is somekind of brand loyalty.
You're not to Old, that Fuse is blowing out in Play Station 3 too without anything shorted inside, I'm guessing that the fuse might blow up while connecting to AC outlet .
What did you do to that fuse? I appeared to be a fuse link added to the outside body? Is that a permanent fix? if so could you provide details on how to do that?
Sorin, I love your videos, i learn a lot from them. Two questions: 1. What fuse did u use and were to buy it? 2. How did u check with the multimeter if it was bad? Thanks! //Chris
Christoffer Denkert fuses are labeled with the mA rating and you check resistance or ohms. You can look in the glass of the fuse at the wire. If the wire is broken, it’s bad.
I have a quick question, I got ps4 pro (CHU - 7116B) and does it match with (CUH-7115) (CUH-7015)(CUH-7215) is it possible to use one of these power supply for my ps4 pro for the (CHU - 7116B)
What fuse did you use. Mines blow and its a T5AH250V but wanted to know if I can used a 4Amp fast blow fuse or should I get the original slow blow fuse.
Hi i have a ps4 white light problem and need advice. So i traded a faulty xbox one original for a supposed faulty ps4 original from a person that fixes consoles that wanted the Xbox for spares. So on the day i got home with the ps4 i used my ps3 cables to power it on and it miraculously powered on which surprised me as the controller was connected properly using the usb cable. But i saw the screen flash black then back to the home screen which i didn't know what is was then it did it once more and was displaying perfectly. After about 5 mins of waiting for it too show some errors or switching off because i did not expect it to work i plugged in my usb speakers to the other usb port on the front while the controller was plugged in. That was when the screen went black instantly. I didn't know what happened and pressed the eject button and a copy of GTA 5 came out which means the console was still powered on. When i plug the controller and speakers in on my ps3 super slim at the same time is says too many devices drawing power something like that. So i think it drew too much power on the ps4 and caused a wlod on the ps4. Im trying to do a home repair with minimal tools and if you could give me some idea of what the usb ports could have shorted eg a transistor or fuses or something. It still powers on and everything but that was the defining factor i think that contributed to the white light of death. Any recommendations would help as ive watched a lot of TH-cam videos and most are the ic chip or some transistor . Its a original ps4 with wlod 1116A
I'm working on this exact same model of ps4. The tiny fuse is blown I replaced it but still get no power on the secondary side. Btw the ps4 your working on is a fist gen model released in Saudi Arabia.
Whilst his logic is sound (something had to short to make the fuse blow) the number one thing to short these power supplies are insects and lizards that climb through the vents in search of a warm dark place. It makes sense that something like that could climb inside and short the psu without causing any more damage since the components in the cpu are generally fairly simple and robust (unlike the chips on the motherboard)
You are not old. Becuase you check components. In your experience the fuses Open because of a short. And you tested the components that normaly are the culprit (transistors, diodes, capacitors). And replaced the fuse wire.
I had this problem after a hurricane. Roach problem. Had no idea they made a nest in both my consoles until it was too late. Fried my ps4 power supply. Or so I thought! This video saved me from buying a new power supply.
With my console The game doesn’t come on during first try I have to sit down for about 5 mins and keep pressing until it comes on What I realize is that the game comes on easier when I connect the game straight to the outlet itself as compare to when I connect it to the extension
Hello sir I need help.... I have ps4 pro power supply....not power on, I find out two components are defective, 1. STD3N62K3 N MOSFET 2. One of SMD Zener diode (zener diode location number on PCB (ZD39) Problem is I can not find any value of this zener diode, if you know something about that value of zener diode or if you recommend something equal please help, Appreciated. Thank you very much Cheers 🍻 from Denmark 🇩🇰
Hey man you around? i have a adp-300fr AAA PSu for PS4 pro and i cant find how to test this PSU. the pin out could be different and i dont wanna mess it up
Hi Can I ask you something?The problem with my ps4 would be,there is no sound nor any blue light blinking whatsoever when I try to on it.Could it be my power supply from the console itself?Fyi couple of months back whenever I try to on there would still that blue light and a little sound AND I still manage to get it started BUT now totally nothing.Pls advise..thank u!!!
I have an issue with my PS4 and im not sure what's causing it. I've been playing on PC for the last year or so and I've recently tried to set up my PS4 and play 2K. (By the way before i switched, my PS4 was working fine before) Once it turns on i can play for about 2-5hrs and then at some point it will randomly just turn off. After that i then have the issue where i cant turn it back on. Ill get the sound and the blue light but then after a few secs it will just switch off. I then have to wait like an hour before my PS4 starts working again before i get that' turning off' issue again. I opened up my PS4 and cleaned it properly, but i still get the issue, so i doubt its coz of overheating. Has anyone had this and found some kind of solution?
I cannot understand why you don't have more subscribers and views.

Thank you I've been searching for your comment! Same thing happened to me and I couldn't find anyone with the same issue. I pray it works.
This guy 10mins to fix it
Sony 3-5 damm months.
Worked for me. Fixed my PS4 with a new fuse (value 0.20€). Thank you so much! :)
Do you remember the the fuse model? And does the amount of Amp matter?

So lucky it was only the fuse.A little protection system. I like the accent I hope to see more videos.
12:45 "There comes a time when you have to stay away from what you have been doing your whole life"
*proceeds to fix the console in record time*
Love the way he reacted. But you are not old u are knowledgeable

lucky time, but I agree that when I found blown fuse there might be some components short, good job - Sir, love your vids much _/\_
THAT S RIGHT MOST TIMES IT IS A RESISTOR BURNT OR BLOWN THAT CAUSES A FUSE TO CRASH.......NEAR TO THE FUSE........
Good job amigo... keep up the good work. Thanks

Thanks for the great presentation and education
Can you replace the 24N60M2 mosfet with a IRF 640
no your not wrong and also not nearly to old, I wish you were close by so you can fix my things
I learnt a lot thanks

Thank You for this really good video.
thank you
If there was a power surge from the outlet at their home or a hot and steamy room it would 'blow' the fuse maybe
Hi I have two ps4s that click on and off ... I’ll have a look at the fuses
Hii, if a capacitor blows up with a bang, you think it worth reparing or is there too much of a risk in that case?
On mine I replace the fuse but it blown again. Is there any pictures for things to check?
What fuse did you use. Mines blow and its a T5AH250V but wanted to know if I can used a 4Amp fast blow fuse or should I get the original slow blow fuse.

lol SORRYY I hate ads
It might just be a fairytale come true its just the fuse 🥳
I'm working on this exact same model of ps4. The tiny fuse is blown I replaced it but still get no power on the secondary side. Btw the ps4 your working on is a fist gen model released in Saudi Arabia.
Do you have the electrical schematic for the board?
blowen fuse dont mean something els is bad can mean power surgeknock out the fuse
SOMETIMES.........YES..IT S JUST A POWER SURGE
I don’t get continuity on ZD801 or ZD802, should I? & what are they so I can replace them?
Hahaha.... A lot of fun to see you are in a fairytale 👍👍👍
SOMETIMES IS JUST THE FUSE THAT BLOWS................BECAUSE THAT IS THE WEAKEST POINT IN THE CIRCUIT...........
Do you perhaps know the value of the mov4 transistor
Can i use a cuh-1215a instead cuh-1215b ? 1215b is hard to find !!What are the differences? I have a ps4 COD console.
How did he check the fuse? What setting do u put the multimeter on
Could you please make a video for ADP 160CR? Thanks :)
Tharindu Dushmantha that’s what I need
Whilst his logic is sound (something had to short to make the fuse blow) the number one thing to short these power supplies are insects and lizards that climb through the vents in search of a warm dark place.

Do you have anything on this playstation 4 model and motherboard(CUH-1115A, SAB-001)??
Hi. Can anyone know where I can buy this power supply for my ps4 pro through online??? Can you give me any online shop link thanks
what will happen if I replace a wrong resistor
Thank you very much for the video What about the power supply full of Roaches the Roaches they will damage the power supply
I had this problem after a hurricane. Roach problem. Had no idea they made a nest in both my consoles until it was too late. Fried my ps4 power supply. Or so I thought! This video saved me from buying a new power supply.
That's weird roaches would also nest in my ps4, later on it stopped working and I'm currently trying to fix it,probably the fuse
I'm replacing the psu with a DC/DC pico psu because im completely 12v off grid. How many amps 12v amd how many amps 5v does the motherboard need?
I have a problem with My supply ADP-160cr AAC model Cuh 2016B were i found this?
how can i test the power and the rating for the capicitators to pass they are good or the other components?
With my console
The game doesn’t come on during first try
I have to sit down for about 5 mins and keep pressing until it comes on
What I realize is that the game comes on easier when I connect the game straight to the outlet itself as compare to when I connect it to the extension
the power supply i have is starting to smell, what do you think it could be. System powers on and the light turns on.
Immediately open up the power supply and clean it, possibly the smell is from the cockroaches who are getting fried inside.
man that was great
Yes . . . There really is a Santa Clause ;->.
How much does this repair cost?
I did the test, this gives me 11.66v and sometimes 11.72, its fine?(PS4 PRO)
Hello sir
I need help....
I have ps4 pro power supply....not power on,
I find out two components are defective,
1. STD3N62K3 N MOSFET
2. One of SMD Zener diode (zener diode location number on PCB (ZD39)
Problem is I can not find any value of this zener diode,
if you know something about that value of zener diode or if you recommend something equal please help,
Appreciated.
Thank you very much

For me the red part of the power cable fell off so I want to fix it I don’t want to buy another one
Hola. cual es el valor de las resistencias R822 Y R822A ?
I would like to work for you man
Bruh how tf is everyone who does this able to take of the little cable with ease but mine feels like I’ll break it
Your not to old bud, you're smart though
Can you tellme what instruments use with PC i mean, measurement tools, i think theres a Fluke multimeter that conects USB to PC
Where says 12v the psu its supposed to have 12v when i tested?
how did the PS4 turned on without her 5volt cable? ôo
I have a source adp 160 cr burn a resistance change the buelbe akemar I would guide me to repair it
Two little metal squares fell off of my ps4 circuitboard how do I fix it
Bi jumperle götü kurtardın ne basit arıza denk geldi adama la ya :)
